    Personally I love mine. Never have used any sort of phone grip before and impulse bought it after a barrage of advertisements. I’ve got no regrets about it at all.

    Have had mine for a while and I love it. Little finicky but not so bad that I wanna switch back to my pop socket. Tbh if this thing can actually live up to a million pops then I don’t see why I’ll ever switch back to my pop socket. This thing just does so much more and is way more comfy and fits my needs so well. Anyone complaining about the price is a little silly considering MagSafe pop sockets cost $30, this thing is only $10 more and definitely worth that price.

    Had mine for a few months now. Really like it, never used a device like this before but definitely helps with larger phone. The pass through charging was always a little sketchy for me so I just removed the sticky adhesive and just pop it off when I MagSafe charge. The magnets are plenty strong enough that it has never come off when when using even without adhesive.

    Will not charge thru on my Samsung qi charging pads, keeps starting and stopping. I have to take it off to get it to charge, luckily the adhesive is easy to remove, and the magnet is strong. Their Snapcharger is garbage though, it got to 145 degree inside of 10 minutes charging, i don't feel safe using it.

      It won’t hold on very well without it.. from what I can see the adhesive is on the magnets themselves so it’ll be very hard to remove

    Why will no one show what happens when you put on an external battery pack? I assume it swivels all around and thats why there are no videos of it?

    Do you have any experience with or know of anyone who has tried applying the Snap 4 to a magsafe phone case without using the adhesive and instead relying on just the magnetic strength between the case and the Snap 4?

    • @LonSeidman
      @LonSeidman  5 місяців тому +2

      The adhesive is built in so it’ll be hard not use it. But I can say the magnet is not strong enough to hold on reliably on its own
